Chapter 856 New Overseas Projects
Sang Ruo couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Bo Jinyan took the project proposal and read it carefully. After he finished reading it, he looked up and asked, "Dad, this is a financial project in the United States. It requires us to develop a payment and settlement system. I have no experience with this."
Furthermore, it involves system development, which is not his area of expertise.
Most importantly, this partner is actually Lu's Bank?
"Nonsense, of course I know you have no experience. If you had experience, why would I ask you to go and investigate?" Old Master Bo retorted irritably. "I know you've been working in the tourism and investment industry for the past few years, but this is Lu's Bank's biggest project development in recent years. If we do it well, we can fill the gap in our American market."
Bo Song has been in Europe, focusing on the European market. Staying stuck in that small corner of Europe isn't a good idea.
The strongest consumer spending power in Europe and America still lies in the US market.
The inability to penetrate the US market has always been a major hurdle for him.
Bo Jinyan seemed to sense the old man's intention: "That's true, but the payment and settlement system of Lu's Bank involves system development. If we really want to do it, it won't be a matter of a day or two."
He glanced at it and realized that the project would take at least a year from its inception to its success.
A year!
If it's a short-term business trip, that's fine, but a year-long business trip...
Isn't this a bit too long? Xiaoruo is in China, and he is abroad. Does their father really expect them to live apart in two countries right after they got married?
And what about Linlin and Xiaokang? These two children are not yet adults and need adult care. If he goes abroad, what if it gives Wen Qingyi an opportunity to take advantage of him and then she goes after Xiaoruo?
This is a job that he can't just take on whenever he wants.
"Of course I know this isn't something that can be done in a day or two, but this is our best chance to enter the North American market." Old Master Bo wasn't willing to give up: "Are you really going to abandon such a good opportunity for personal reasons?"
Opportunities don't come often.
He had arranged for Bo Song to stay overseas for so many years. The European market was doing well, but it was never as attractive as the North American market, which had become a major concern for him.
To break through, success or failure hinges on this one move.
Bo Jinyan's brows furrowed even more: "Dad, of course I don't want to give up such a good opportunity, but Xiaoruo and I have only been married for a short time. You're arranging for me to go abroad for a business trip, making us live apart in different countries? This is too cruel for us..."
“Besides, Xiaoruo and I have two children to take care of. If I leave, who will take care of the children? What if something happens to Xiaoruo again?” He paused, then said, “Dad, I have too many responsibilities. I can’t handle it all.”
Having a child is one challenge, but Xiao Ruo's safety is another major concern for him.
Things are different now. Wen Qingyi has already tried to kill Xiao Ruo. What if Xiao Ruo gets hurt again while he's away on a business trip?
"You don't need to worry about this problem. When you go abroad for inspection, just let Xiao Ruo go with you, right?" Old Master Bo had already given him a good idea: "As for the two children, after you go back tonight, talk to them and let them stay with me for a year. I will help you take care of the children."
Although he is old and not as healthy as before, he has many people here and lacks nothing. I believe the two children will live well with him.
Even so, Bo Jinyan did not think it was a good idea: "Dad, let alone your age and poor health, even if you were in good health, at your age, could you take care of two children?"
"Moreover, I'm married now, so things are different from before. Before, when I was single, I could go to the United States to do research without any problem. But now I have a family, and I have to think about my wife and children."
We can no longer act like we did before, only thinking of ourselves.
After all, he is no longer just a person, but a husband and a father, and he has to be responsible for his wife and children.
"Alright, you keep saying it's all for your wife and children, then I'll leave this choice to Xiao Ruo." Seeing that he kept making excuses, Old Master Bo directly threw the question to Sang Ruo, his gaze falling on her: "Xiao Ruo, you tell me, what's a better solution than the one I suggested?"
Sang Ruo didn't expect that Grandpa Bo would directly give her the choice: "This... Dad, I can't say for sure either. Let's see what Ayan chooses."
She was unwilling to force Ayan.
They both put themselves in each other's shoes and didn't want the other to suffer any hardship for them.
Ah Yan felt so sorry for her, and how could she not feel sorry for Ah Yan as well?
“Ayan, in my opinion, you should do as I say!” After looking around, Old Master Bo found that Bo Jinyan was the most suitable candidate: “Jinzhou is in prison now, and your elder brother also needs to stay in the European market. No one in the family is more suitable than you to go to the United States for inspection.”
"If you don't go, do you expect this old man to go and investigate personally?"
Bo Jinyan originally wanted to refute, but once he uttered his last sentence, he had no room for further rebuttal.
Yes, Bo Jinzhou is in prison, Chen Fangyue is in prison, the eldest brother has been overseas for a long time, and Bo Yukang is still young. Apart from him, no one else in the family can go abroad for inspection.
Left with no other choice, Bo Jinyan could only nod: "Alright, Dad, I promise you. I'll send someone to bring Xiaokang and Linlin over tomorrow morning."
Right now, there really isn't a better option than him going abroad with Sang Ruo.
After the overseas trip was finalized, Sang Ruo still had one worry: "Dad, if I go abroad with Ayan, who will take care of your medical check-up? You often experience chest tightness, and if you don't get proper treatment, it will get worse."
"Don't worry about that. I'll hire a doctor from the hospital to come back as my family doctor and examine me." Old Master Bo's words were undoubtedly intended to dispel Sang Ruo's concerns: "Now you can rest assured, right?"
His words left Sang Ruo speechless.
A moment later, Sang Ruo gave Old Master Bo a check-up, left him a lot of medicine to treat his chest tightness, and then got into the car with Bo Jinyan and left.
When the black Maybach reached the halfway point of the mountain, Sang Ruo asked, "Ayan, do you think Dad came prepared?"
“It must be.” Bo Jinyan drove, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his voice neither warm nor cold: “I don’t know why Dad arranged for me to go abroad for an inspection, but this new overseas project is a collaboration with the Lu family. Don’t you find that strange?”
Luke's Bank is the largest Chinese bank in the United States. No Chinese person doing business in the North American market can do without Luke's Bank.
